Welcome to the Sports Motivation podcast. This is your host, Nees Showbo. This is books and bars where I break down excerpts from my favorite books, bars from rap songs that I find necessary, appealing, filled with wisdom, things that inspire me, etc. All right. Now, I've been on a real hip-hop kick lately. Not that I'm ever

not, but just, I've actually been listening to a lot more music, especially Nipsey Hustle music

as we lost a legend a few weeks ago. I'm sure you guys have heard Nipsey Hustle, who is, who is and was one of my favorite rappers and not just

favorite as in like all his music so fresh which it is but more so like someone who I really

admired and that really inspired and motivated me like I'm talking about someone who

literally helped mold my, my worldview,

especially around entrepreneurialism and how I go about attacking my goals. I feel like someone

he's who, I feel like he is someone who really embodies the I'm Not You mindset and someone who, again, you guys

have probably heard me talk about a ton.

We did an entire week-long series on books and bars around his debut album, Victory Lap.

So needless to say, I was very much heartbroken as I know a lot of people around the world were when he passed away.

Now, he had a new song come out on the DJ Khalid album, and I knew it was coming out.

I was super excited to listen to it.

And so the next morning, when I went on a run, I listened to it, got really emotional.

I was just playing it on repeat.

And he said a ton of things in this song, as he always does, that really hit home. But there was one thing in particular

that was super, super powerful. And I just had to share that with you all. I couldn't wait to do it.

So I'm excited to do that right now. So B. Kroc, what I want you to do is take it from the second verse.

All right, second verse, we're going to play the, it's a song by Nipsey Hustle featuring John Legend.

It's on the DJ Khalid album.

And let's play the hook by John Legend, and let's get into the second Nipsey Hustle verse.

So let's drop that real quick.
